Fatshimetrie inaugurates a new era for rail transport in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Indeed, President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi chaired the inauguration ceremony of the new National Service trains, marking a major turning point in the history of the country.
The event was held at the SNCC Station Square in Lubumbashi, where a crowd of political and military authorities were present to celebrate this significant progress. On this occasion, the Commander of the National Service, Jean-Pierre Kasongo Kabwik, underlined the importance of this investment for the development of the country.
The acquisition of these new railway machines opens up numerous perspectives for the National Service. Indeed, on the agricultural level, corn production is expected to reach remarkable figures by 2023. Likewise, in the education sector, school construction projects and the manufacturing of school furniture are underway, thus contributing to promoting education for all.
The future outlook is also very promising, with plans to establish a modern printing press in Kinshasa, the production of uniforms for the armed forces and new initiatives in the field of cattle breeding. These measures aim to strengthen the country’s self-sufficiency and meet the growing needs of the population.
By receiving these new trains, the National Service positions itself as a key player in the socio-economic development of the country. These locomotives and wagons will open up the most isolated regions, thus facilitating the transport of essential goods and services for local populations.
By highlighting the involvement of young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods in the reconstruction of the country, the National Service demonstrates its commitment to inclusion and social emancipation. The training of builders, including young women, in South Africa demonstrates the government’s desire to promote employment and vocational training for all.
In conclusion, the inauguration of the new National Service trains marks an important step towards strengthening transport infrastructure in the DRC. This strategic investment will help to boost the country’s economy and improve the quality of life of its inhabitants, thanks to an innovative and ambitious vision carried by President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi.
